Excellent choices for those who know them. What made them great for you?

They did not just focus on the dancing but on all the little things such as 'your toe was turned out there' or 'you missed the second bounce on that step.'

To me these things turn an excellent dance into a great dance.

I have had two instructors and several coaches over the past four years that I've been taking ballroom, and my best overall instructor has been and still is Mario Ornelas of Gemini Ballroom in Reno. He has me focused on school figures, technique and fun. I'm learning the nuts and bolts in such a way I understand why I'm doing what I'm doing and how it is best done. I'm all for understanding. He is a brilliant instructor and out of this world fabulous leader. Thank you Mario for teaching me. I look forward to every class.
